Just taking the chance to whine (whinge for Andrew :-)
again about the lsb-runtime-test install.  I *know* my
situation is not typical but I have a multiboot setup
on three boxes (ia32, ia64, x86_64) with multiple
distros on each.  To make life I have a single /home
which each one can mount (or bind-mount if I use chroot).

This is a real pain for lsb-runtime-test, which still
installs to /home/tet and is not tolerant to change.
Because if I boot one distro and install the test,
then reboot to a different one and install the test,
I get into trouble.  Or if I uninstall it one place,
others still think it's installed and complain that
the files are missing, etc.

Nothing else installs to /home any longer and thus this
is the only one giving me this headache.  Yes I can
work around it by keeping /home/tet_fc3, /home/tet_rhel4,
etc. and trying to remember to move the right one in
at the right time, but it's a real pain in the (ahem...)
